Sometimes, God's blessing begins with a trickle. We see this in today’s message from Ruth, chapter two. As God reveals His hand in this story, desperation gives way to humility and nobility. We also meet a new and impressive character, Boaz, who reflects God’s loving concern for Ruth and Naomi. And quite suddenly, a trickle becomes a flood. Throughout chapter one, these women’s lives only seem to worsen. But after they return to Bethlehem, the House of Bread, they see tangible, generous evidence of God’s provision and blessing as bitterness transforms into beauty.
